Datacolor Spyder3 Elite User Manual

Select Display
Help Index
Usual Setting
Choose the display you wish to calibrate from the popup menu.
The Purpose of This Step
For multiple monitor configurations, this step selects which monitor to calibrate, or
which to calibrate at this time.
The Long Answer
Computers may have more than one display attached. Each display has different
characteristics and must be calibrated and profiled individually.
A separate monitor profile will be created for each monitor that is calibrated.
Note: Multiple Monitors
Computers using the Windows operating system with multiple displays may need to
have a separate video card for each display. Multi-head video cards (a single card that
drives two or more displays) that are not PCI Express cards often are not capable of
holding unique calibrations for multiple displays. Each display must have its own
profile, created specifically for that display, associated with it. Associating different
profiles to displays attached using a multi-head video card may not function correctly
under Windows.
Computers using the Macintosh operating system do not have this issue. There is no
problem using multi-head video cards on Macintosh.
